If you don’t feel calm, then I can prepare some tea. Would you like that?

Please wait in the parlour then. I’ll prepare it right away.

Here you are.

[02:01]
I’m glad that you’re satisfied.

Hmm?

Of course. I’ve been serving you for many years at this residence. I’m well aware of how you like your tea.

And that you also like having your tea with petits fours.

Today’s petits fours are strawberry tarts.

Eh?

Ah… I’m very sorry for looking at you so impolitely.

I was just lost in thought, thinking that you’re already old enough to attend marriage meetings.

Yes, I understand. It’s too soon for you to be married.

[03:00]
Your mother and father aren’t expecting you to get married now, they just want to find you a partner.

Why are you asking something like that?

Even if I have an opinion about you getting married, I’m not in a position to say it.

I can’t bear it when you look at me sadly like that.

Don’t cry, Miss. It’ll make me sad too if you do.

So… Please don’t cry.

Track 2

Miss. It’s Unomori.

Could I have a moment of your time?

I heard from your mother that you turned down another offer of marriage.

How many is it now? And this time the man comes from a family which owns a large corporation. He was sincere and handsome… What on earth didn’t you like about him?

He held your hand? That was the only reason…

[01:05]
I’m very sorry. It was impolite of me to say that. However, I think that it’s very natural to hold hands when associating with men.

Disgusting? Miss…

When your mother asked how you could marry someone and have children when you can’t even hold hands, you evidently said that you would naturally learn to do it by living with them.

I understand that this is an impolite thing to say, but do you honestly think that way?

[02:04]
I thought so. You are loved by your parents and your seven older brothers, and brought up like a princess. Your mother was quite regretful that the negative effects of only having seen the beautiful side of the world would present themselves here.

Although you’re at the right age to be married, you know nothing about intimate matters. You seem to dislike men you are not related to and you might never marry. Perhaps a man who can make you truly happy will never appear. Your mother was painfully worried about that.

Ah… Me, you say? A humble person like me is completely unsuitable for you. Please don’t make jokes.

[03:06]
But I’ve been taking care of you since you were young, so I’m incredibly worried about letting you out into the world without you knowing anything.

It’s not too late to start. You should have some knowledge of intimate matters.

You don’t need it?

Why are you sulking?

Do you dislike the marriage meetings that much?

I can understand the feeling of being scared of men.

However…

Miss…

Do the marriage meetings bother you that much?

[04:06]
Is it because you hate men?

It may be impolite of me to point this out, but I’m a man too.

Do you understand?

Really?

I hope you do. I thought you had matured, but it seems that you’re still like a child.

It’s not like that. I’m not teasing you.

I’m just feeling a little happy.

That’s no good for a butler to do, is it?

This is a problem though. If we don’t do something to help you overcome your dislike of men, the marriage meetings will be an impossibility.

[05:10]
Even I can’t just leave you alone like this.

Well… I have a suggestion, Miss. Why don’t you and I practice how to interact with men?

It’ll be good enough for you to overcome your dislike of men by practising with me.

Also… If you wouldn’t mind doing it with me, I can teach you proper knowledge of intimate things. What do you think?

Thank you very much.

Then will you sit next to me now?

[06:13]
Ah… Can you keep this a secret between you and me?

You’ll secretly gain useful knowledge, as well as overcoming your dislike of men, which will surprise your mother.

Track 3

So what would you do if you were alone with a man?

Your partner would be surprised if you suddenly turned away.

Turn this way, Miss.

Please imagine that I am your partner. First of all, blink widely once. Then look at your partner and smile slightly. Lower your gaze a little, focusing on your partner’s lips. After that, look down shyly.

That’s right. Well done.

I’m sure a man will fall in love with you at first sight if he sees that expression from you.

[01:05]
I wonder what I would do?

I see your lovely face and constantly changing expressions everyday. I believe that I know you completely. What makes you happy. When you’re sad. What I can do to make you happy. Everything.

That’s enough about me. Let’s continue.

If a man falls in love, he will surely want to touch you.

He will certainly want to touch your hand, like this.

You don’t like that? In that case, I’ll let go.

[02:04]
Please think of me as a different man for now. Otherwise this won’t be good practice.

At first, your partner will gently touch you, holding your whole hand. But then he will gradually entwine his fingers with yours and hold tightly like this…

Why are you blushing like that? You won’t be able to progress beyond this if it’s enough to make you blush.

Are you curious about what happens after this?

Well… That would be embracing each other like this.

[03:01]
Not in the playful way that you usually do, but gently leaning against each other’s bodies. Embracing, whilst slowly feeling each other’s warmth.

The next morning, your brothers would bitterly ask why you came to me.

But now that I think about it, perhaps it was a sensible choice. I’m sure it would have ended in a fight if you had chosen one of your seven brothers.

Is that so? You were happy to choose me. That’s a great honour.

[02:09]
You always held onto my arm tightly with your small hands as you slept, didn’t you?

I’d sing a few songs and you’d be asleep before I knew it. Just seeing your lovely smile was enough to surround me with happiness. At that time, I had the foolish illusion that you would always remain in the house as a child and that I would always protect your small existence. However, while I watched you becoming more beautiful and feminine, I finally realised that the day when you would become another man’s wife was coming closer. I’m a fool, aren’t I?

[03:15]
Since then, my feelings have gradually… I’m very sorry for saying too much about myself.

I think it all went onto the tissue… Did anything get onto your clothes?

[13:05]
Thank goodness. It seems to be alright.

No! Of course I can’t show you this.

Miss, you’re too curious! It’s no good. I definitely can’t show you this.

Don’t be like that! I can’t do that, no matter what. It’s completely impossible.

Miss… Please get some rest tonight. I’ll wake you up before it gets light. Stay like this for now.

Track 6

Miss! I heard that you became unwell during a marriage meeting! Are you feeling alright?

What happened to your arm?

You got a rash?

You mean that you get a rash when a man touches you?

How did this happen? What I did to help you overcome your dislike of men made it even worse…

Miss…

[01:04]
In that case, we don’t have a choice. Let’s explain things to your mother and father.

Yes, of course we’ll keep the practice we did a secret. Don’t you think they’ll have to accept it if you’re unable to be with any other man?

In other words, I’m telling you that I’ve always loved you. However, I am a servant of this household and so I told myself that I would have to keep that feeling deep inside my heart.

But if your mother, father and you will allow it, then could I give my love to you?

[02:18]
I love you, Miss. Will you please be mine?

Thank you very much. When your mother said she just wanted someone who could make you truly happy, no matter who it was, although I denied it, I thought that there would be no one more suitable than I was.

[03:01]
I’m going to make you truly happy. I truly love you.

You look tired. However, your mother and father seem to have agreed. Or perhaps I should say that they were defeated by your persistence. I’m sure I could not have convinced them alone.

Well then, please excuse me while I sit next to you.

[04:03]
Miss.

I love you. I won’t let go of you, my dear young lady, again.

I didn’t think things would go this well.

No, it was nothing.

Ah… That’s right. Shall we do the last practice then?

No… It won’t be for practice this time, it will be the real thing.

Track 7

Your tongue is so small and lovely. It intently follows my tongue.

It really is lovely.

[00:52]
I don’t need to hold back any longer, do I?

You’re all tense now.

[01:53]
I want to make you feel even better.

I want to take my time tasting this flavour.

[02:57]
Amazing. It’s flowing out.

Are you going to come?

Did you come?

You’re so lovely.

[03:43]
Ah… I’m very sorry. Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve seen you naked and I just couldn’t help it. You’re very beautiful.

Is it alright if I enter you? It might hurt a little at first, but can you bear it?

[04:58]
It really does hurt, doesn’t it?

Shall I pull out for a while?

I understand. Hold onto me now then.

Now I’m completely inside you.

This is what it’s like to be inside you.

[05:54]
I’m going to start moving.

It hurts, doesn’t it? You don’t have to hold back.

No. I’m not going to stop, even if you tell me it hurts.

Don’t worry.

[06:51]
Please bear with it a little.

[07:56]
I’m very sorry. This isn’t over yet.

Keep holding on. I’m going to lift you up, you see.

You’re right. It’s as if we’re embracing each other.

Well… I can’t help feeling guilty when you say it’s like when you were a child.

No, it’s nothing.

[08:51]
Now we’re in the present.

[09:54]
I’m…going to come…

I’m going to come now…

Did it hurt? You don’t like it anymore?

[10:56]
You have a lot of potential and I’m looking forward to that.

It’s a secret for now. Why don’t we just enjoy each other’s warmth instead of thinking about unnecessary things?

We’ll be spending much more time together than we have before, you see.

I love you, Miss. I will offer my whole life to you, so I want you to keep me by your side from now on.
